Allspice is indigenous to South and Central America. It derives it's name from having the flavor profile of a mixture of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. In a large part of the world allspice is called pimento do to the Spanish mistaking it for black pepper. Allspice is the only spice grown only in the Western Hemisphere. Jamaica provides the best soil and and climate for growing allspice.
Allspice berries look like dried peppercorns only larger. The unripe allspice berries get harvested and placed in the sun to dry till the seeds rattle inside. They become dark brown with wrinkly skins and range from 1/8 to 1/4 inches in diameter.
